Judd, who lives in Tennessee but is a native of Kentucky, said there is a lot to consider, but so far she is enjoying the process of making the decision. Judd has strong ties to EMILY's List, which seeks to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights to public office. If she does run, it would no doubt be with the heavy support of the powerful political group.

"I've traveled all over the world," she told CQ Roll Call. "There are no people that have captured my heart, and that I am more dedicated to, than the people of Kentucky."

Not even her family knows which way she'll fall on the sSnate question. Judd said she lives next door to her mother, singer Naomi Judd.

"We see each other every day," Judd said. "And she'll ask me: 'Did you decide?' My mother is so sweet. She basically said, 'Tell me when you decide and I'll turn the car port into a field office."
